The training academy is extremely popular and can become fully booked for specific time slots fairly quickly, so if you have a particular date in mind, please contact us.

This Training Academy facility will be offered to NEW Trade Partners to facilitate your training needs once you have placed your first order with us. We recognise the importance of undergoing this training so it’s mandatory to attend the training session before your order will be delivered. This will save you time and money on site as you will have experience with the system.

“The facility covers what I need to know for installation and it’s great to be shown how to put the structures together and advice on where to seal etc.”
